About Safehouse Progressive Alliance for Nonviolence
Safehouse Progressive Alliance for Nonviolence (SPAN), founded in 1979, is a Boulder, Colorado–based 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides confidential emergency shelter, crisis intervention, counseling, legal advocacy, housing support and violence-prevention education to survivors of interpersonal violence and their families.
In the last 2–3 years SPAN has expanded family-focused healing programs and made its shelter pet-friendly (completed September 2024), while continuing large-scale crisis response: in 2024 the organization reported approximately 9,000 shelter nights and thousands of hotline responses, and its recent annual reporting shows continued service to more than a thousand adults and children across outreach, housing and legal programs.
